Anti-Corruption Action Center
Ukrainian non-governmental organisation lobbying against corruption
The Anti-Corruption Action Center (AntAC; Ukrainian: Центр протидії корупції, romanized: Tsentr protydiyi koruptsiyi) is a Ukrainian non-governmental organization, founded in 2012, that aims to oppose corruption in Ukraine.
Creation
The Anti-Corruption Action Center was founded in 2012. Vitaliy Shabunin and Daria Kaleniuk are two of the co-founders.
Leadership
Vitaliy Shabunin was head of AntAC's executive board as of 2016. Daria Kaleniuk was executive director as of 2019.
Street protests
AntAC activists have carried out protests wearing t-shirts with the slogan "Ukraine F*&k Corruption".
In 2015, AntAC was active in a car protest in front of President Petro Poroshenko's residence that called for Poroshenko to fire Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Shokin. AntAC director Kaleniuk stated that Poroshenko was unwilling to fire because, according to her, "Poroshenko came of age in a system where the Prosecutor General was used as a weapon against political opponents, and Poroshenko remains determined to maintain control over this critical lever of power".
Legislative actions
AntAC played in role in putting pressure on members of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) that led to the creation of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
Lutsenko and the Trump–Ukraine scandal
In 2014, following the Revolution of Dignity, Anti-Corruption Action Center saw Yuriy Lutsenko, who later became Prosecutor General of Ukraine, as an "ally" following Lutsenko's role in the Maidan protests.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ukrainian non-governmental organisation lobbying against corruption. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55778638. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2016, 2019 and 2015.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
